"On these steps today stand 82 women representing the number of female directors who have climbed these stairs since the first edition of the Cannes Film Festival in 1946".

The interview took place the day after Hayek walked the Cannes red carpet with the likes of Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins, A Wrinkle in Time director Ava DuVernay, and actresses Kristen Stewart, Jane Fonda, Cate Blanchett, and Marion Cotillard, as part of a group of 82 women protesting gender inequality.

"You feel it. It's a very palpable atmosphere", she added. She is developing five movies, and they are all about women, she said. "It worked. And I think we should enjoy it". "It was a strategy by the lawyers because we are the easiest to get discredited".

Actress Salma Hayek said that male actors should take a pay cut to serve as reparations for the unfair treatment and payment of women in Hollywood.

Hayek also remarked on her allegation of sexual harassment against movie mogul Harvey Weinsteinin an op-ed in December. "So he went attacking the two women of color, in hopes that if he could discredit us, he could then maybe discredit the rest".

Unless they made sacrifices, she said, "it is going to be hard for equality".

Weinstein denied Hayek's accusations soon after they were published. "Men have the opportunity, which is so lovely, to rethink what does it mean to be a man", she said.
